The Paradox of Low Fire Rates and Labor Shortages
Lucas and Luna dissect the strange disconnect in today's labor market where initial jobless claims are near historic lows yet unemployment ticks up to four point two percent.

Using data from September payrolls and JOLTS openings, the hosts analyze whether this 'low-fire' trend is a sign of productivity or impending structural inefficiency that will keep inflation sticky into late twenty twenty six.
